Bridge Creek is a hard hike in the Marble Mountain Wilderness, part of the Ukonom Ranger District of Six Rivers National Forest in California. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail runs about 20.8 miles out and back, with a total elevation gain of about 5,073 feet. The route starts at roughly 1,363 feet and climbs to about 6,319 feet. The trail is natural-surface and allows horses, but bikes are not permitted. That makes it a practical choice for riders on horseback rather than on wheels. Several other destinations sit close by. One Mile and Secret Lake are both within a third of a mile, and Pleasant Lake is about 0.6 miles away. For paddlers, North Fork Wooley Creek is about 3.9 miles off.
